Nope. I had tube on CSPAN-1, and just now flipped to Baseball. Was it a good presentation?
Yeppers...the only "troubling" thing he said was...that if the Republicans don't win in 2006 or 2008 or 2010, it wouldn't make that much of a difference...
I WINCED at that one...
He is all about the "lets be NON-partisan" and get stuff done.
RE: MIers....he wouldn't say...but he said that his 3 criteria for a SCOTUS justice in order are: 1. Integrity---that if there is even a whiff of a lack of integrity in the nominees past...gone.
2. Judicial philosophy...originalist, strict constructionalist, judical activist...? He believes in the Constitution as written, and that anything else should be handled by the legislative branch.
3. Life experience...he prefers someone who has "lived in the real world" and has had bad things happen, or whatever...he doesn't want someone who has spent his/her adult life in the insular world of the judiciary and doesn't know how real everyday Americans would feel about a decision he/she might make that would affect their lives.
If you want to know more..about other subjects let me know..but since this is a MIers thread, I will stop.
